Search flights from LED to SCW
Lake Ladoga
Europe's largest lake dominates the view shortly after takeoff from St. Petersburg.
Karelian Wilderness
Vast expanses of untouched taiga and coniferous forests stretching towards the Arctic.
Svir River
A major waterway connecting the great lakes of the Russian North.
Vologda Lowlands
A patchwork of frozen wetlands and small streams that glitter in the winter sun.
Vychegda River
The winding, powerful river that defines the landscape as you descend into Syktyvkar.
Choose the left side for morning flights to avoid direct southern glare. In winter, the frozen surface of Lake Ladoga offers a surreal, moon-like landscape. Keep your camera ready about 15 minutes after takeoff for the best lake views.
